Imi Knoebel

Projektion X by painter and sculptor Imi Knoebel was created in collaboration with Gerry Schum. During a nighttime trip through Darmstadt, a diagonal cross of light is projected from a car onto the urban landscape and at the same time filmed. The work is part of a series of works with drawings, photographs, and slides on the subject of projection, and was influenced by both Kasimir Malevichs’ suprematism and the expanded notion of art of Knoebel’s teacher Joseph Beuys.
